Gold Post Medal for All Time! 677 Posts Many Keurig coffeemakers end up in the landfill because they do not dispense water anymore, or just fill the cup a tiny bit. You can fix this yourself, and save the cost of a new machine.
Total Time: About 5 hours, including waiting time.
Supplies:
- white vinegar
- water
- paper clip
Steps:
- Remove the water reservoir, lid to reservoir, and the bottom piece the cup sits on. Wash and dry.
- Remove the K-cup holder.
- Bend a paper clip and clean out the holes on the bottom. Wash the K-cup holder and dry.
- Replace all the pieces.
- Fill the water reservoir with vinegar. Brew without a K-cup. Dump all the vinegar into the sink.
- When the reservoir is half empty, let the remaining vinegar sit 4 hours.
- Discard the vinegar and fill the reservoir with fresh water.
- Brew without a K-cup at least 12 times. You will have to fill the reservoir at least once.
- Brew until the cup dispenses the correct amount of water. It may take a lot of brews, but it will work.
